Just a heads up that this is how Google treat connections it suspects to originate from bots. Silently keeping you in an endless loop promising reward if you can complete it correctly.

I discovered this when I set up IPv6 using hurricane electric as a tunnel broker for IPv6 connectivity.

Seemingly Google has all HEnet IPv6tunnel subnets listed for such behaviour without it being documented anywhere. It was extremely annoying until I figured out what was going on.

Sounds suspiciously like how product managers talk to developers as well.

Sadly my biggest crime is running Firefox with default privacy settings and uBlock Origin installed. No VPNs or IPv6 tunnels, no Tor traffic whatsoever, no Google search history poisoning plugins.

If only there was a law that allowed one to be excluded from automatic behavior profiling...
